juldeaSo here are the specs (muah):
AMD Athlon 1.4Ghz
256 megs DDR ram (woo DDR)
20 gig hard drive
guillemot/hercules 3d prophet kyro 2 4500 64mb no-tv out video card (I don't know what all those numbers are, so I figured I'd put them all for those who care)
Soundblaster Live! 5.1 (unless someone convinces me to spend more on a better one ;))
All of that (plus motherboard and fan) shipped to me for $460. All I need after that is a case (~$30-50 depending on what I want, shipping fees for cases are bad though because they're large, so I should just get one from a local place and not online), a floppy drive (so cheap that the shipping fee almost equals the cost of the drive), and necessary cables (see floppy drive). All in all I'll be getting a total badass machine for about $500.
I'll be borrowing the monitor and keyboard from the teddyville server for a while, but hey... not like they're being used. Also I need to get my ethernet card from my mom (she's got my old desktop) and I'm set.
Yum. This isn't far off.
On another note, there's a group of women (Women for Decency) in Utah who say that the first admendment "does not protect obscenity and pornography".
*shakes head sadly*
Maybe one day I will realize my fault in not taking these kinds of people seriously, but wow. Who does? Only other kooks.
